Well, they seem to have a graceful exit strategy. As it is, probably 90% of the links that lead me to CodePlex end up having a "we've moved to GitHub" message anyways.
No big loss, one less repo to have to deal with, which is a good thing, I think.
CodePlex.com will start serving a read-only lightweight archive that will allow you to browse through all published projects – their source code, downloads, documentation, license, and issues
documentation?  Every time I've clicked on the "documentation" link for a project on CodePlex it's empty. The possible notable exception was NewtonsoftJson, when it was still on CodePlex.

Documentation (like this[^]) is one of the things that the migration tool doesn't do well as you have to correct all the linked page names to add the .md suffix

OMG. That's the second CodePlex project I've ever seen with documentation.

Oh no, have to migrate my projects from Codeplex to GitHub.
One thing I don't like about GitHub is there is no download counters. The energy I devoted to my projects depends on number of downloads.

There is a way to get the count with the API, actually.

Often, advice about application performance comes at you with the staccato of rapid fire tips. “37 Ways to Shave Nanoseconds off of Your Overnight ETL Process.” I exaggerate for comedic effect with that title, perhaps. But the point remains. Authors serve up advice for optimization with many tips that matter only inside of tight loops. And it’s hard to keep all of those in your head. Write it in C++?

Describing why the Web is horrible is like describing why it’s horrible to drown in an ocean composed of pufferfish that are pregnant with tiny Freddy Kruegers—each detail is horrendous in isolation, but the aggregate sum is delightfully arranged into a hate flower that blooms all year.
This article describes what goes through my head any time I see someone praising the latest clientside buzzword compliant bit of new and alleged shininess as beautiful or elegant.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A truly epic read. I'm glad someone is finally being brutally honest about web development—not to mention being snarky, hilarious at the same time. I would send this to my managers, but it would have zero effect. Our CIO declared last year that all new applications should be web apps or "we're not doing it right." Welcome to my world.

My opinion, the best line from the article, and there are many to choose from.

I have been around a few executives like that. They latch on to one fad or another, issue proclamations that this is the way of the future, and then they fail to give anyone the time and resources to pursue the New Way. In your case, these guys would neglect to give you the servers needed to host web apps and their data. That's their style. Thankfully, my current bosses are nothing like that. It also helps that I work for a private company. I have never been denied something I need here.

Great article! Very funny, but so true. 
During the rollout, we received call after call from hapless users confused about which option to choose when confronted with a dialogue asking if they wanted to debug the web page. 
(it was hard not to be unprofessional and scream 'Are you a freakin' web developer?') Needless to say, all of the javascript errors were fixed quickly!
